What are eco-friendly alternatives to plastic bottles in hotels?

Trying to sort out a dilemma at the small guesthouse I run. I’m trying to cut down on plastic, but guests still expect bottled water in their rooms. I’ve looked at a few so-called green options, but half of them feel like greenwashing and the other half seem way too pricey for a tiny place like mine. If anyone here has actually switched to something cleaner than plastic bottles and had guests accept it without complaints, I’d love to hear what worked, what flopped, and what surprised you. I’m hoping to make a real change in 2026, just need some direction.

I switched to chilled filtered water in glass carafes and put refill points in the hallway. Guests accepted it once I added clear signs and a quick note at check‑in.

I ended up hosting a mid-size event there, and having the planners handle the AV and catering took a load off my plate. If you want to poke around their spaces or sort out details, you can visit site for a clearer feel of what fits your group.
